September 18: Niccolo Giovanni arrives in a small village near the Nishaz pass. When he rests in the local inn at night, an unidentified presence appears in his room. The entity hands Niccolo a map to the Monastery of Shadows, with a single Enochian phrase written on it: "My Path is chosen".[3]

September 28: Niccolo Giovanni finally succeeds, locating the text he has searched tucked away in a secret room hidden behind the library. It is a tome bound in human skin containing several fragments that narrate the tale of Caine, written in Chaldean with several annotations in five other ancient languages, the most modern being imperial Latin. [6]

September 29: Niccolo Giovanni begins to translate and transcribe the compiled fragments found in the tome. He finishes the Genesis and becomes aware of a shadowy presence in the hidden room, similar to the encountered earlier.[7]

October 14: Niccolo Giovanni finds the secret room locked and decides to leave. The whispers continue to follow him now even outside of the library. He prepares a manuscript of his transcriptions to send to Venice.[12]
